My favourite fun fact is that teeth are in a way, highly specialised skin cells. Which is why sharks have them on their skin. But they are called "denticles".
Survival instinct. We stare at tragedies because we're trying to learn how to avoid them, even if we might not realize that's what we're doing. We want to know how people died for the same reason. Some people just aren't very good at repressing that instinct I guess.
Wow! You guys are having a heat wave! Don't get me wrong, I prefer to see winter weather in December. That being said I'm not looking forward to doing outdoor chores tomorrow morning. -10⁰ is just a little rough for that kind of thing.
The average 401k is down from a year and a half ago. Most people have a limited amount of control over what their employer invests their 401k into. The current market is propped up entirely by the AI bubble.
Sorry but this is completely false, and since you have no sourcing or evidence, theres little point in continuing. The market, every major ETF, and every major 401k comp is up massively. Is what it is.
Again, the sub won't let me post my links, apparently they're considered to be political in nature. Your Fidelity link seems to be conflating contribution rates with growth rates, and corporate bonds are leveraged against debt, which also isn't indicative of growth.
The winds in MatSu Alaska have gotten so fucking bad lately. We've always had horrifying winds every winter, but nowhere near as bad as what we've been getting lately. We had tornado force winds last week, in excess of 80 mph(130kph) in certain areas. In 2022 the winds got up to over 100mph(160kph). Infrastructure has kinda kept up for the most part, but I fear the MatSu valley may become just a natural wonder like Yellowstone or Lake Maracaibo if the world doesn't make some serious changes to energy production.
But hey, at least kids don't have to worry about risking frostbite when trick or treating anymore./s
Your stocks shouldn't be down unless you JUST bought them. Checking the Dow, it's up over everytime frame beyond 1 day, but only an idiot would work with retirement funds on one day time frames.
You should floss.
It's normally in the 60s give or take in December around here. I just found where it was 85 the day before Christmas in 1955. Should be so lucky this year.
Microplastics may be an issue though, seems like they're impacting your ability to look up things, like how stocks are doing, or use the historical weather data that's free and easy to find on wunderground.com, or how to to do hygiene.
Ahhh, what a time to be alive an have receding gums
Teeth are luxury bones under capitalism. You wanna keep em, you gotta pay big dental 5k a year.
Outside bones, outside bones,
Don't forget your teeth are just outside bones!
It honestly kinda trips me out sometimes that they just kinda poke out of your mouth, and you show them to people when they tell you jokes
"Good joke, now enjoy validation as I show my bones in approval."
Sharp, meat-rending bones, that in any other predatory species would be seen as a threat.
My favorite fun fact is they aren’t bones because they contain pulp and they don’t regenerate the way that bones do. pulp
My favourite fun fact is that teeth are in a way, highly specialised skin cells. Which is why sharks have them on their skin. But they are called "denticles".
Ohhhhhh I like that one thank you!!
Now do the eyes!
Never said I had teeth
or just, brush and floss
That's fucking cute
You must have iron teeth.
I just do that shit to have them fall out slower.
It seems to be making mine fall out faster
https://youtu.be/BOEYSLlQy9s
Try dental schools. They want to address yr problems. That’s their whole motivation.
Brush your teeth
I can't find them
Where did you last see them
The mirror, but I lost the mirror
And have microplastics in your balls
If your balls are full of microplastics, where's the pee supposed to be stored?
In 200 years, someone is going to quote this the same way we quote "I think, therefore I am."
Actually I was getting maya angelou "and still I rise" vibes from it.
It is also a riff on "Nevertheless, she persisted."
Not too far off from Undertale's "Despite everything, it's still you".
/r/hopeposting is right over there btw guys :)
One day you will have something happen to you, and you will survive it, and ever after people will ask, “How did you keep going after that?”
And the answer is, “What’s the other option?”
We persist.
I mean, lots of people choose the other option...
and thus ain't nobody asking them how they kept going.
damn. shits logically sound af
You got me there.
Surprisingly, no one asks them how they did it.
Tactless people might ask their family members how they did it afterwards though.
Tactless people ask that anyway. My wife and I lost three parents in a year, and people would ask about it. Seriously?
Yeah I don’t understand how people can’t quell their morbid curiosity in the face of grief. It’s disturbing.
Humans are curious, dumb creatures

I got cats to feed.
My business was destroyed in a cyclone in march
For 8 months ive gritted my teeth, bend in the wind and slowly rebuilt while keeping my staff employed
This week I got fucked up at gaga and we reopen next week
Such is the sands of time
Does Gumby even have balls?
What happens when Gumby's gums recede? Is there even bone underneath?
When Gumby's gums recede, all that is left is "by".
Gums recede because there is a loss of bone
Gumby is one big exposed root surface it would seem
Gum balls
I do believe that he can have them whensoever he should so choose.
Based on his voice, no.
They’re called cumbies
I'm not sure why this made me think of Eddie Murphy as gumby in SNL skits but that mist have been a thic outfit.
Do not go gentle into that good night
We will not vanish without a fight!
"Roll me, Homie
My hips all bony, I getting sores, I getting lonely"
deep cut reference
"It's 60⁰ in December..."
Checks weather app
High of 0⁰ tomorrow
"...Lucky!"
Feels like 78 in Houston
80 in Phoenix :(
Got a heat wave where I am, 27 degrees and dropping the next few days.
Jeez! Don't get a sunburn! 😂
Just come live in the desert, it will prep you for the future anyway
I can't just yet. Outside chores are going to suck tomorrow, but every day like this is a day closer to expanding my ice fishing prospects 😂
Stocks are down...
Checks stock market
All time high
Given that the date is cut off, this brand new sentence is probably several years old.
I’m in Wyoming and it was 51 today and has only mildly snowed once all winter where I live. This shit is wild.
Wow! You guys are having a heat wave! Don't get me wrong, I prefer to see winter weather in December. That being said I'm not looking forward to doing outdoor chores tomorrow morning. -10⁰ is just a little rough for that kind of thing.
This is modern day stoicism at its finest
Reminds me of this
That's why you need to rub one out pretty often, so you can get those plastics out of the balls.
If you do it right, you'll be shooting Lego bricks, and that makes up for the stock dip.
Unexpected poetry?
Nevertheless is such a melodic word when spoken with a little sarcasm that it definitely seems that way, doesn’t it?
Absolutely. Plus the line usage is very poetic in form.
I feel this in my exposed roots
That's a real skookum choocher.
In this place, purpose is a burden... and you, my friend, must unburden yourself.
Try flossing
60 degrees?...Where? We are supposed to be a high of 7 on Sunday. Give me the 60.
The movies portray the apocalypse as an event that happens over a day or a week.
In reality, the apocalypse is decades long and this is just the beginning.
Not really surprised about the microplastics if it's Gumby.
Hey look, this guy has stocks!
Relax, its december, stock houses always cash out just before xmas so they have holiday money to play with their families
Your balls on the other hand…
I love how you put the post in the title
My balls laugh at microplastics. Soon Anyone can kick me in the balls & I'll laugh.
But until then I'll curl up in a ball & cry.
Wait…how do you know there are…nvm, I’m sure you checked.
If you have them, they are in yours too.
Yeah.. It's 18 degrees here..
We just had a 60 degree day in Idaho which is insane for mid December.
If your stocks are down, that's all you.
You might be up if got lucky gambling on meme stocks, but the average 401k is still down from a year and a half ago.
No way bro the average 401k is up massively. Market is at all time high. You have to be truly incompetent to not be at your all time high.
For example I see in one of my bog standard 401k accounts is up from 35k to 50k since last summer. That's almost doubling.
That’s not double at all.
But it sure as shit positive
No doubt
How did you do in wordle today? i got it in 3
Sadly, today was 4. Yesterday was 3.
The average 401k is down from a year and a half ago. Most people have a limited amount of control over what their employer invests their 401k into. The current market is propped up entirely by the AI bubble.
Sorry but this is completely false, and since you have no sourcing or evidence, theres little point in continuing. The market, every major ETF, and every major 401k comp is up massively. Is what it is.
That is true and I have plenty of sources and evidence, but apparently posting them against the rules of this sub.
Fidelity 401k Q3 2025 analysis: Up 9% from 2024 https://about.fidelity.com/data-and-insights/q3-2025-retirement-analysis
Corporate bond total return (proxy for 401k bonds): Up 10% from 2024 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/data/BAMLCC0A0CMTRIV
I literally cannot find any single part of this market that 401k's have exposure to that is down lol
Again, the sub won't let me post my links, apparently they're considered to be political in nature. Your Fidelity link seems to be conflating contribution rates with growth rates, and corporate bonds are leveraged against debt, which also isn't indicative of growth.
The S&P 500 is far from a meme stock and it's up more than average.
The S&P is currently being propped up by the AI bubble, which I would consider to be a collection of meme stocks.
Lmao, ok. It's still up.
And the average 401k is still down from a year and a half ago.
That isn't true either.
Edit: There's no way this isn't a troll or bot. See ya.
It is, but posting links is apparently against the rules of this sub, so ¯\(ツ)/¯
But you are incorrect. A quick Google showed the last 18 months have seen great returns for the average 401k.
The horrors persist but so do I
He doesn't live near me clearly.
The stock market is up +15% this year. If your stocks are down that's on you.
The modern day Maya Angelou.

Yikes.
I can’t imagine living somewhere that doesn’t experience 60’ in December. Cold weather sucks.
Its been consistently in the 30s here. Dk where OP lives. And it snowed today.
its 70+ in vegas this week
i wanna be clear that this is really fuckin wierd even by our standards
looks at thermometer
-23°
It's a new sentence but I fear it will become more common.
Read this Werner Herzog's voice.
Sounds like something LukeTheNotable would say
Why did I read this like a poem 😭
That's two sentences
The second one isn’t new
